Thoughts

Thinking about everything I've read and looked at so far, what stands out most for me, as well as where I would like to go next with it.

what is it about the POSTER?

• It's instant
• Communicative
• Available for everyone, art on the streets
• Pushes and plays with the balance of message and aesthetic

the attitude of the POLISH POSTER

• Experimental approach
• Involved a level of the artist's own views, aesthetic, and their character
• Often employing metaphors, visual language, sometimes even nonsensical and abstract motifs!
• "Working with joy", without imposed constraints, or commercial pressure

other things?

• Lo-fi art and design. I need to find examples and sources of this
      ↳ "punk" design (flyers and posters perhaps?)

      ↳ Underground publications? Campaigns?

• Instant, lo-tech methods of production and distribution
      ↳ Photocopy machine, monotype

• DIY ethos to art and design

• Authenticity in art and design

• Immediacy?

• Stream-of-consciousness drawing/making/designing
